On Thursday 26th May Mat Keep and I will be presenting a webinar on how MySQL Cluster can deliver linear scalability – together with some tips on how to achieve it. As always the webinar is free but you need to register here.

The session starts on Thu, May 26 at 17:00 UK time, 18:00 Central European Time, 09:00 Pacific.

This webinar will discuss best practices in scaling services on-demand for high volumes of reads and writes, and provide insight on the range of NoSQL and SQL access methods available to developers, specifically covering:

the oddity actually lies with the sub-linear growth between 4 and 8 nodes – smooth that out and you get nice linear write-scaling from 4 to 16 nodes. Unfortunately we only had a very short time in this particular benchmark environment and so we haven’t been able to understand what happened in the 8 data node run or retry it. We do plan on getting back into this benchmark lab and of course I’ll share the results.
